i wouldnt say i crush on anime girls, but anime writers are really good at making their characters very realistic, and very empathizable. When i was 15, i watched tenchi in tokyo and i flat out fell in love with Sakuya Kumashiro because of her tragic story. producers these days have only gotten better at hitting your emotional spots, you know?

I dunno. I think it's normal though. I have many anime crushes like Kuroyukihime from accel world. I admire her for her beaty and the way she is as a girl. What i think is not normal is also what i feel for this one anime girl (I wont mention the name). I always think that she would be real. I always stare at her pictures at my phone I always feel sumthing in my heart when she is with other anime guys. I feel sad when she is crying and some other stuff like kissing her pictures. I know it sounds weird but... I really feel sumthing different and I know it is abnormal but simple crushes is normal though.

I don't think it's abnormal.. First of all the guys I've met are so mentally retarded and they know NOTHING about romance :/
But in anime of asian dramas they are to gentle and kind.. they are everything a girl would like her boyfriend to be so ofc we fall for an anime character.. but as long as you get that they are only a character then I don't see the problem with it

I know that i had a huuuge crush on Pein and Shikamaru from Naruto.. they were like my guilty pleasures

No it happens all the time, might not be anime character for everyone but even having a crush on an celebrity, particularly an actor in a certain roll isn't dissimilar. You don't know them, not really, most of it is still the fantasy you build up in your head.

I admit to being guilty of having a small crush towards an anime character, but nowhere near serious enough to choose them over reality. HOWEVER, I would not date/get into a relationship anyway as I feel it is a waste of my time, people think I'm weird for choosing that lifestyle, but I honestly don't care about others opinions..

I agree with both of you. It is still the same as having a huge crush on a movie character (and I've had PLENTY of them ) I also have big anime crushes (Spike from Cowboy Bebop being an example) but I think people should admit that they've had anime crushes. Most of us have. And there's nothing wrong with that.

The problem with having interest in anime characters is that they will never be real and you may develop unrealistic expectations of real people. That being said i think so many people feel attracted to them is that they are purposly drawn and written to be attractive so it's kind of like baiting. Anime writers are just trolls that no one hates haha.
